No changes yet. Each new crawl is compared with the last one, and what MSN adds, drops or rewrites shows up here.

How we measure

Alternatives are matched by what sites actually offer, from their homepages, Wikidata and a summary by Claude, in any language. Trackers and the rest of the stack come from the homepage’s code and DNS records.
